I'll take a contrarian view here. Disclaimer: I'm interpreting "safe" as in "usability". I've been driving Ubuntu for years for gaming purposes, and it's come a long way. Most drivers are installed out-of-the box. The apps I care about run just fine.
But.... Relative to MacOS Ubuntu is certainly not as user-friendly. It's worth noting that Linux distros will force you to confront the command line at some point. If you come from OS-es where the most technical thing you have to do is pop open settings to set screen-share permissions or "right-click -> open" to install a package, you'll notice a stark difference.
- rsyring 8mo agoI recently tried to help my mom reset her Apple account password on a modern Mac. Absolutely and utterly shite process at almost every step. I couldn't believe it. Even had a screen show up completely blank that was obviously supposed to have something there but I have no idea what. Finder is garbage from a power user UX perspective. And the extra hoops to jump through to manage windows instead of applications is super annoying IMO. I think Apple is slowly enshitifying it's UX advantages.
